“We played a grueling tournament, facing the number five, six and eight seed teams. We fought hard and we played really well.”
Craig Manning
“When you're a 12 seed, you're usually playing against a team (in the first round) that's just outside of the top 25. That makes a big difference. A lot of the teams out of the top 25 are so similar, and in the tournament, anything can happen.”
Bobby Gonzalez
“We played ourselves into a 2 seed by playing hard at the right time. We really enter with a lot of momentum. Hopefully, we can keep it up.”
Cedric Bozeman
“When you're that No. 1 seed, teams are gunning for you, everybody wants to be that team to knock you off. For us, we get a chance to face the No. 1 team for a second time this year, so let's see what happens.”
Hines Ward
“We're that close to being a team that would be a one or two seed. Instead we're a six, because we dropped a bunch of close games.”
Greg McDermott
“Like every team, we want to go to the NCAA tournament. Our seeding for the conference tournament is very important, as is the way you're playing. Hopefully, we'll have those in our favor when it counts.”
Ernie Nestor
“There's no question Cal is an NCAA Tournament team. It's just a matter of seeding.”
